"What?!!"

Zhang Zhirou became more and more worried, and always felt that something would happen this time.

"By the way, Master Xizhu told me before he left that Madam He was in Prince Xiaoyang's Mansion, and that if you came back, you could go find her there."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhirou went to Prince Xiaoyang's Mansion without stopping.

Because she came alone, no one in Xiaoyang Palace knew her and stopped her outside.

After all, it was late at night, and no one dared to let outsiders into the palace easily. What if something happened?

Zhang Zhirou was anxious and angry. She went straight to the wall of the palace and flew in from the side yard.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few secret guards in Xiaoyang Palace, and Zhang Zhirou was unfamiliar with the place, so he was discovered as soon as he entered. He was almost killed by the secret guards of the palace as an assassin!

Fortunately, the place she came to was close to the side yard, which alarmed Bai De who lived nearby.

Upon learning that she was looking for Shu He, Bai De immediately ordered her to be released and personally brought her to Tingxue Courtyard.

Yuezhen heard a knock on the door and came out to greet him, "Uncle De, why are you here?"

"Is the girl asleep?" Bai De asked.

"I've been asleep for a while."

Seeing the two of them talking calmly, the impatient Zhang Zhirou lost her patience. "Go wake her up! Baili Moqing is in danger!"

When Yuezhen looked at Zhang Zhirou, she felt that she was breathtakingly beautiful at first sight, but she was a little ignorant of etiquette, impatient and rude.

Shu He in the room heard Zhang Zhirou's voice, quickly got dressed, opened the door and came out.

“Arou!!”

"Sister He!"

Shu He looked her up and down, and seeing that she had no external injuries, he finally put his mind at ease.

Fortunately she is fine!

Seeing that the two really knew each other, Bai De went back and asked Yuezhen to serve him carefully.

Yuezhen agreed, quickly lit the candles in the room, and made tea for Zhang Zhirou.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhirou had no mood to drink tea. She didn't even let Shu He sit down before she said, "Sister He, there's no time. We have to leave immediately!"

Shu He rarely saw her so anxious, so he asked, "What happened?"

"Someone wants to kill Baili Moqing, Jiang Dongping and the others!"

When Shu He heard this, a frosty look immediately covered his face.

Jingsong Garden of Shanghe Prefecture.

Shen Chuan had just fallen asleep when he suddenly sensed a cold murderous intent coming from outside the window.

A cold look appeared between his brows, and a piece of gauze was thrown out in an instant, facing the cold sword of the person who came.

By the time the man cut open the gauze curtain, he had already grabbed the man's throat.

The moonlight shone down, illuminating half of her face.

"It's you!"

He unconsciously put down his hand, feeling a little cold in his heart.

She really wanted to kill him just now!

He couldn't understand, "Why?"

Even if they weren't close friends, they were still friends, right? What could have happened that could have made her want to kill him?

She gripped the sword tightly in her hand and asked coldly, "Why did you want to assassinate Baili Moqing? You clearly know that he is Yi'er's father, an irreplaceable existence!"

After hearing this, Shen Chuan's expression turned even colder. "You want to kill me for Baili Moqing?"

Looking at that familiar and cold face, he felt a trace of pain in his heart.

So, no matter what he does, it can't compare to Baili Moqing's position in her heart, right?

She didn't confront his question directly. "No matter how much unhappiness there is between him and me, he is Yi'er's biological father, and Yi'er already knows him!"

"Shen Lanzhi, do you know how much harm and pain Yi'er will suffer if you kill him?"

"I've told you more than once that I'm from Tianqi and will never allow other countries to invade Tianqi!"

"If you want to kill Baili Moqing, there's no way I'll let you go!"

Her words were cold and heartless, like knives stabbing into his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"So, once it involves him, you don't even ask me, right?" He couldn't control his emotions at all, so that a hurt look appeared on his face, and there was a bit of disappointment in her in his eyes.

She looked at him with sparkling eyes, and her hard heart softened uncontrollably, even putting down the sword in her hand.

Looking at her falling sword, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"You said I was going to kill him. Who told you? Do you have any evidence?"

Shu He was speechless.

"I heard it with my own ears, Shen Lanzhi, do you still want to deny it?"

Zhang Zhirou's angry voice came into the house, and then a man in black came in through the window.

She stopped and looked at Shen Chuan coldly, her eyes full of anger.

"I saw with my own eyes that one of your cavalrymen went to the Prince of Jin's Mansion and revealed Baili Moqing's whereabouts to them!"

"I heard them discuss assassinating Baili Moqing in Mingguo Temple with my own ears. Shen Lanzhi, are you still denying it?"

Zhang Zhirou was extremely angry, and the sword in his hand was about to move.

They treated him as a friend, but he was trying to kill the people around them! What kind of friend is he?

Shen Chuan looked at her and wondered, what about Ma Jun?

Did he check Baili Moqing's whereabouts?

You guys wait here for a moment, I'll go ask.

"You want to escape?" Zhang Zhirou raised his brows in anger, unsheathed the sword in his hand and put it against his neck.

Shen Chuan was wearing only his undershirt and hadn't even put on his outer garment. He had never looked so embarrassed in front of others before.

He glanced at Zhang Zhirou, and a cold look flashed uncontrollably in his eyes.

Shu He stepped forward to stop and persuade Zhang Zhirou, saying that he had to prove it.

Zhang Zhirou's anger had not diminished, but he still put down the sword in his hand, "How can Ma Junlai confront me face to face!"

Shen Chuan glanced at Shu He, and the expression on her face clearly conveyed the same meaning.

He was a little disappointed. Didn't she really trust him?

After putting on his clothes, he walked out the door and asked someone to call Ma Junhe.

Then he returned to the house and lit the candles inside.

The gloomy atmosphere made the three people no longer feel as relaxed as before.

Ma Junhe hadn't even put on his clothes when he arrived. When he heard the visitor say that the prince had a gloomy expression, he became very nervous.

"Shi, Shizi..."

After entering the room, he saw Shu He and Zhang Zhirou sitting in the inner hall with equally gloomy faces, and his worries grew even stronger.

Shen Lanzhi sat in the outer hall, looking coldly at the man kneeling on the ground, "Did you go to Prince Jin's Mansion?"

When Ma Junhe heard this, his face turned pale.

Looking at his evasive gaze, Shen Chuan already had the answer in her mind.

"Who told you to do this?!"

He had never given this order, and it was impossible for Ma Junhe to act on his own. The only explanation was that someone else gave him the order.

Ma Junhe knelt in the hall, not daring to utter a word.

Zhang Zhirou couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward, "Shen Lanzhi, stop pretending! How could this cavalryman be yours? If he wasn't ordered by you, who else could he be?"

"Tell me clearly, what exactly did you prepare at Mingguo Temple?"

Shen Chuan glanced at Zhang Zhirou coldly, then her eyes fell on the sword in her hand.

"Shh!"

"what!"
